Iran officially launched a new mechanism for governing maritime traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz called the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA). Under the newly implemented system, all vessels intending to transit the Strait will receive an email from the official address info@PGSA.ir outlining the rules and regulations for passage. Ships are required to adjust their operations according to this framework and obtain a transit permit before crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
